Lol, mine's like that. In the city, it gets 22mpg. When I drive all highway, it's more like 36. I think it's all the stop/go driving that does it. Idle wastes alot of gas.

Let me get this straight...You drive 42miles after you've put in $20 gas (assuming you've top it off). Then your gas needle drops to half. Sounds like a faulty gauge, software update...

Do a search next time. Also, here are a list of other problems.

no freakin way...

either your engine's dirty.....ur plugs busted....or your needle calibration is off..

mine usually about 100miles after one or two bars down...

are you sure there isnt a hole in your tank? My needle is whack sometimes, but it's never that off.......... IF you drove 42 miles in about 1/2 tank.... that would be... maybe 8 miles per gallon? What kind of driving.... or maybe idling were you doing? It cant be that bad unless youre idling for hours and hours.

Hey Gear,
Why is your mpg so bad man?? That sucks!

 
Rep Power: 0

have you tried another gas station? A very small chance that the station is rigged. It maybe coincidently that you have a defective part and in addition they rigged the pump to read higher but you are not actually pumping that much.

Keep us updated then we can advise you more.

ive been using that gas pump for a long time...b4 i went to the station my refuel light came on..when i refueled it went all the way past full..i drove around and then 2 days later its on half.i check the trip meter..i reset it when i refueled..read 42.0 miles..
question: does using ur ac use up ur gas 2...i havent used my ac but im asking..cuz if it does i might average 2 miles per gallon..lmao..lol

When my fuel sender broke, the fuel gauge would be below E when there was 5 gallons left in the tank.

If the poor gas mileage is actually true, you need to check plugs, oil, tire pressure, and air filter. Those are the most important.

AC does use up gas. ok, so see how it goes with this current tank of gas. If it gets to the 1/4 mark but you only fill up a few gallons, then I think you know what to do next.

The sending unit in the tank may be faulty. Have it checked since you have warranty.

And I thought I had it bad with my previous 18mpg. After changing my spark plugs and more tire pressure I'm averaging 25-26mpg. Every notch on the fuel guage is about 20miles for me. After half way, though, the guage will just drop down to empty. lol...crazy honda fuel guage.

 
Rep Power: 337

yuup, after 200-230 miles, that needle just drops to less than a 1/4 the next time I start up the car.

Rep Power: 337

I am averaging about 290 miles to the tank now, I wish I knew the problem.

I have a question for your guys....Lets say your going 40mph would it be better to just put it in neutral and coast or leave it in 4th or 5th gear and just give it a little gas to keep it at a constant 40mph?
